Hello. Im interested in receiving a chemical peel . I have some discoloration and my skin looks dull. Im also using Econazole nitrate for an on going skin infection. The infection seem to be clearing out but there's areas of my face that is lighter then the rest of my face. Fyi. I dont scar well . I often get hyerpigmention well a wound heals. I live in New York City so if theres any Doctor in the area that can help me please leave a comment. Thank you in advanced.
Answer: A melapeel can help even out skin tone and texture. Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

Answer: Superficial Chemical Peels Containing Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid & Jessner's Solution Work Well & Safely In People Of Color I have personally been using superficial peels containing full strength glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and Jessner's solution in people of color for over three decades in my Upper East Side Manhattan practice. They can yield quite gratifying results, especially if combined with the regular use of at-home, prescription strength agents (such as hydroquinone, or arbutin, kojic acid and glycyrrhizic acid), when used to treat a host of dyspigmentation problems, including melasma and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (such as post-acne skin blotchiness). Be sure to consult with a board certified aethetic physician. Best of luck

Answer: Peel for African American skin We perform the VI peel in my clinic, which contains trichloroacetic, salicylic, and retinoids acid. It is a medium depth peel. We provide different strengths, depending on the patient and the results desired. It can be performed on most skin types, including patients with darker skin.

Answer: Retinol Peel for African American Skin A Retinol Peel is a peel that we offer at my practice which is ideal for treating unwanted pigmentation on darker skin types. This peel is highly effective but non-invasive and will reveal a brighter, more even complexion. The procedure is quick and easy - only about 10 minutes in the office. Following the peel, your skin will look tight and refreshed and around the end of day 2 it will begin peeling and continue to peel for the next 3 or so days. Peeling will never be severe - your skin will never become raw and most people feel comfortable to go out in public during this time. Once the peeling has subsided, you will notice a reduction in hyperpigmentation as well as tighter and brighter looking skin. We consistently see great results on our patients with the Retinol Peel but it is a particular favorite for treating those with darker skin tones who cannot be as easily treated with lasers.
